Cast Your Burden Upon Hashem

Cast Your Burden Upon Hashem

Rashi states: “The Menorah shall be made: By itself. Since Moshe found difficulty with how to make it. Hashem said to him, ’Cast the kikar into the fire, and it will be made by itself.“

The Modzhitzer Rebe zy”a (Sefer Divrei Yisroel) says that this is a lesson that applies to every aspect of life that may be difficult. For example, obtaining parnassah is often very difficult. The way to deal with this problem is to cast one’s burden upon Hashem and let Him sustain you (Tehillim 55:23). If we throw our “kikar” into the fire of Hashem, everything we need will be made by itself.
